🤷♂️ I'm glad you're getting into Larry Bird. Larry Bird is the man. He wasn't the tallest or the fastest guy on the court, but he played above the normal fundamentals. Larry might be a basketball God like Michael Jordan

haven't been on your page in a minute...just got a recommendation, and it reminded me to check you out again...when i went into your videos for the like, 3 weeks or so i hadn't watched anything, all i gotta say firstly, is just by what you been doing, i finally went and hit that SUB button, with noti's on... Maybe you saw one of my long ass comments, maybe you didnt...but i mentioned that the young guys who respect and are interested in the "old heads" era and what we talk about, the BEST thing for yall to do is go back and find as many FULL GAMES, even to the point where if you doing Jordan, try to watch full games for as much of a full SEASON as you can----- and low and behold, here i am, seeing you with these 2+ hour videos watching FULL GAMES... yo, MADDDDDDDDDD respect for you kid, it aint no easy task to sit down and watch a full game, make comments, edit stuff out, maybe rewind and do it again, etc. etc., but YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING... Now, that said...if you HAVE seen some of my many comments on your vids, again, maybe you dont remember this seldom mentioned "stat," maybe you do, but when these dudes talk about Larry Bird's bball IQ, all the proof you need, even BEFORE you watch even a second of his games/highlights, is this: ---- i am pretty dang sure, that Larry Bird is the ONLY man, among the "big 4" American sports (foot/base/basket-ball/Hockey) to have won: ---- rookie of the year ---- MVP ---- Finals MVP ---- coach of the year ---- executive (GM) of the year Translation? He was the best of the newest players in the league He was THE BEST in the league He was THE BEST in the playoffs/championship run He was THE BEST coach in the league for at least one season He was THE BEST at evaluating talent to put together the best team that he possibly could. He won these "the best" awards, 4 out of 5 decades, when just going by the year number... Over 5 decades of being involved in the sport, Larry Bird entered as the best, played the best among all else, played the best when it mattered the most while winning a chip, coached a virtual afterthought of a team the best over all the other coaches, and compiled the best roster of players with what he had to work with better than everyone else.... YA GOTTA take a minute to think on what kind of blend of talent and mind (and let's face it; sometimes all the talent in the world dont matter if you dont have the ability to see the game at the highest level) that is....and even when you DO, you gotta take another minute to think on how this man proved that, at least for one season, he was the best at literally every single aspect of the game, whether it be just entering, playing as a veteran, playing for a championship, passing off that knowledge to the next generation, or putting together a team to let the next coach try to do that very same thing... Don't let ANYONE tell you that Bird was great "for his time," because even when he couldn't play anymore, he lent as much as he possibly could to the game without playing, and was THE BEST AT IT.... guy is #2 on MY "GOAT" list, but if anyone dont got him at WORST top 10, and really top 5, dont bother talking to them, cuz they just dont know the sport like you are in the process of knowing it now

These are the best to every play the game talking about Bird...in an era when the sport was actually physical. Imagine Bird today with all the foul rules...when people couldn't touch him.

There's even more GOATNESS from Larry in the vid "5 Times Larry Bird was Injured but REFUSED to Quit". It's on the " Uncut Hoops" channel. In the prime of his career, Larry decided to help his mother build a driveway by himself. He injured his back permanently. Dan Dyrek, Larry’s orthopedic therapist, explained. “Larry Bird, the superstar, out there breaking his back, literally, shoveling gravel. And that was the beginning of a process.” Larry’s back would slip out of alignment and lock into abnormal positions, trying to create some stability. While the pain could be managed for a few hours at a time, allowing him to hit the court, the issues lingered. Even surgery couldn’t completely return the star to his best. “Every time I would play, I was wondering if I was gonna be in a wheelchair,” Bird explained. “Was I ever going to be able to, you know, walk on the beach or hold my kids?”

Just so you know, even growing up in 80s in the Boston area, I had never heard any of these stories. You may not realize it, but back then the internet didn’t exist. That means the only place to get info was the newspaper. So, as someone from era, you knew Bird was great, but it makes you appreciate Bird EVEN more!

They cut it short, that "off the glass into the trainer" -- he literally jumped backwards and fell into the trainer's lap. And of course the shot went off the glass and in.
@brendawalters372815 сағат бұрын
Bird didn't say INTO the trainers lap, even though that version is more fun. What he actually said were 2 words "trainer' lap", it didn't mean he would fall into the trainers' lap, but he was going to make the shot, from where the trainer was sitting. which was a 3-pointer. once again telling the opposition what he was going to do, then do it.

Jordan was this Future era that we're in now, when it comes to finesse, sauce, hops, speed, strength, no regard for the opposing player & team😂. The finesse went from Pistol Pete, to Doc. J, to Magic, then MJ was Theee future. Anyone else who came behind MJ is only doing what he done in the 80s & 90s.

The crazy thing about the Lebron talk is that Lebron accolades align with Magic & Kareem. Magic been to 9 titles & won 5 in 13yrs, Kareem been to 10 & won 6 in 20yrs.
@goldenruletv73016 сағат бұрын
If Bird makes that 3 pointer in game 5 against the Lakers, then there would be a very strong GOAT argument to make over MJ. However, my GOAT list will always be 1) MJ 2) Bird & Magic (because they belong together) 3) Wilt & Kareem (because they both belong) 4) Kobe & 5) Duncan. LeBalco is way back in the rear-view mirror and steadily losing ground.
